Remote security for Windsor truck yards and border freight

Local and live

Freight at the border

Invest WindsorEssex says the Windsor-Detroit border handles approximately one-third of all Canada to U.S. trade by truck, with more than 2.5 million trucks crossing every year and over $1 billion in goods crossing daily. Windsor sits at the western end of Highway 401, which continues as the Herb Gray Parkway to the new Gordie Howe International Bridge, and the Ambassador Bridge carries trucks as well. Over 20 customs brokerage firms and more than 60 transportation services companies work in the region.

Farms and factories feed that traffic. Windsor-Essex has 3,500-plus acres of greenhouse operations, and over 70 per cent of its farmers' produce is exported to the U.S. The region also has more than 1,000 manufacturers, including more than 90 parts manufacturers and 250-plus machine, tool, die and mould makers, and Port Windsor adds 89 hectares of open storage. That adds up to produce, parts and finished goods waiting in yards and trailers across the county.

Across Canada, Équité Association says trailer theft nearly doubled in 2025, to approximately 970 incidents. Sigma's live agents watch Windsor-Essex yards 24/7, 365 days a year. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone in the yard, and the agent talks them down live through the site's speakers and calls police if they stay. Agents can also operate your gate remotely for drivers arriving at any hour, and morning yard checks log damage, visual seal checks on video and where each unit is parked.
